Příbram (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpr̝̊iːbram]; German: Pibrans, earlier Freiberg in Böhmen) is a city in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic with a population of 35,147. The city is located on the Litavka river and the foothills of Brdy, 60 kilometers south-west of Prague, the country's capital. The city is well known for its mining history, but is now finding a new look after economic restructuring.
The city is the third largest in the Central Bohemian Region (behind Kladno and Mladá Boleslav) and is a natural administrative and cultural center of the south-western part of the region, although it also tends to be largely influenced by the economy and lifestyle of Prague.
Widely-known pilgrimage site Svatá Hora is located just above the city, while the Mining Museum Příbram, including the communist labor camp Vojna memorial, is another tourism attraction.
